OET (OET-LV) and they_are_saying to_the mountains and to_the rocks:
Fall on us, and hide us from the_face of_the one sitting on the throne, and from the severe_anger of_the lamb,
OET (OET-RV) They told the mountains and rocks, “Fall down on us and hide us so that the one sitting on the throne can’t see us, and also from the lamb’s anger
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / apostrophe
λέγουσιν τοῖς ὄρεσιν καὶ ταῖς πέτραις, πέσετε ἐφ’ ἡμᾶς, καὶ κρύψατε ἡμᾶς
˱they˲_/are/_saying ˱to˲_the mountains and ˱to˲_the rocks fall on us and hide us
The people are addressing things that they know cannot hear them, the mountains and the rocks, in order to express in a strong way what they are feeling. If your readers might not recognize what the people are doing, you could translate this in a way that would make that clear. Alternate translation: “they were saying that they wished the mountains and rocks would fall on them and hide them”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy
προσώπου
/the/_face
The people are using the word face to mean by association the area in front of the one sitting on the throne where he can see people and things. Alternate translation: “the view”
6:1–16:21 Three sets of seven judgments—the seals, trumpets, and bowls—form the core of Revelation. Some suggest that the judgments form a chronological sequence from beginning to end, with each set of judgments flowing from the seventh judgment of the previous set for a total of twenty-one successive judgments. More likely, the relationship is cyclical (as in other Jewish apocalyptic works; cp. Dan 2, 7, 8, 11), with each set conveying increasing intensity and adding new details of God’s judgment on those who rebel against him. In this perspective, all three cycles end at the same chronological point, with the return of Christ.

Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Greek words that they’re translated from.
